Well, what was the intent of those guys who shoveled dirt into the well ? Were they admistering death to the donkey ? Were they expecting to bury the donkey alive just because there was no way to bring him out alive anyway saying...."ohh well, we cant bring the donkey alive anyway, he will eventually die one way or the other in a slow and painful death so lets kill him and bury him at the same time". ...Just Kidding...ha ha ha ha
